Branch woke up feeling horrible,not in the sick way horrible  but just wrong it was hard for him to describe. What even happened yesterday  the last thing he can remember was.....

Fruit

Origin

Transformation

Permenant

Oh yeah that. Groaning he  wipes his eyes but pulls back when it hurts,that's what happens when you cry yourself to sleep. Well one good thing is that he is no longer itchy that's a blessing.

Looking at his fur he can tell its definately gotten longer but it isn't as noticeable as he thought it would. Only certain areas are noticeable in small patches that stick up a bit those being his wrists,knees,ankles,and neck. Everywhere else he looks pretty normal.

He sighs in relief that he isn't going to be a big fluffball at least that would have been very emberassing to say the least. Though he dreads what else he is going to go through. He doesn't feel any noticeable pains at the moment but that usually means something bad is going to happen,well usually that happens in some of the books he has read.

Getting up with a yawn he decides to make some breakfast he isn't in the mood to make anything too complicated so he just decides to go with some toast and orange juice. While waiting for the toast to be done he can't help hut imagine what's in store,just how long was this going to take?

With a ding the toast pops out of the toaster he grabs it and takes a bite when all of a sudden

**Crack**

**Crunch**

His eyes widen and his pupils shrink to pinpricks. That isn't supposed to happen! nothing was supposed to crunch?! All of a sudden along with the taste of toast on his tounge he can also taste blood,he can also feel pain in his mouth,lots of pain.  Not letting go of the toast he sprints to his bathroom and then proceeds to spit out the toast into the sink and along with it is something that stops him in his tracks.

There among the piece of toast is 4 of his teeth the ends of them are covered in blood and he can still taste it in his mouth and he can feel it leaking out of his mouth. Why did he just spit out 4 of his teeth?! Looking in the mirror he can see blood dripping down where his teeth where. There were 2 on top missing and 2 on the bottom that were missing.

Why?! This has to be apart of the transformation process as he takes very good care of his teeth so it couldn't have been from that. Washing out the blood from his mouth he tries to out pressure on the holes where his teeth were but is met with pain.

"Ow!" Ok so he can't put pressure on it cause it is just met with pain great. Why did this happen is the question. As he is pondering on this he keeps having to spit out blood every minute or so but soon the bleeding finally stops and then he is able to get a better look in his mouth.

He opens his mouth and is shocked. Somehow in the 4 holes where his teeth were,are 4 very very small teeth coming through but the thing is that they weren't round they were sharp they almost looked like.....fangs.

'We also had fangs and claws for protection from predators' king peppy voice echoes in his mind. Sugar he is growing fangs?! This is swell he can only imagine how this is going to go. If the pain of them growing right now is any indicator it isn't going to be good.

"Great jusht great I'm growing fangshs" He groans out loud and it's made even worse since he has a slight lisp for the time being. Looking back in the sink he grabs his old teeth unsure to do with them right now he just sets them off to the side for the moment.

He just decides to lay back in bed for the time and wait for this stage of the transformation to end and he hopes it's soon. While the lain isn't nearly as bad as the itching it's still annoying. He decides to try and get some sleep and take a nap so he grabs his covers and tries to sleep.

Keyword being try

The pain is stopping him from even relaxing much and being under the covers is making him overheat alot quicker than usually in fact he actually feels fine without it. Must be the fur,it must be good at keeping heat in. So he has cold resistance that....nice he guesses,but that also means that summertime is probably going to be absolutely miserable.

Knowing how isn't going to be able to sleep he decides to work on his jigsaw puzzles for the time being.

Pov switch to poppy

Poppy woke up that morning feeling absolutely terrible. Mentally not physcially,physically she felt fine but mentally she was going crazy with grief and sadness for Branch. She was so upset she could barely be happy for their morning song. After it was all sung and done she just headed back to her pod her thoughts storming like crazy.

It was becuase of her that he is currently transforming in probably very painful or irritating ways,and theres nothing she can do to stop or reverse it.If she had just asked her dad about the fruit before giving it to Branch this wouldn't have happened.

It's all her fault she was so excited to show him something that her new friend Barb gifted her that she didn't even bother seeing what fruit it was or anything! Even when Branch was wary of it she didn't seem to notice and told him it was fine when in fact it wasn't fine!

"Branch probably hates me right now" She mutters to herself. She wishes there was just something she could do to maybe not make it as bad for Branch. Maybe she can find a way to lessen the pain? But how?

She begins to pace around her pod as she begins to go through ideas. A party wouldn't help as much as she would like to throw a party that wouldn't help him at all. Scrapbooks wouldn't work either. Singing most definately won't help this situation. She is quickly running out of options. All the things she would normally do to help someone out isn't working when it hits her.

There is one thing she can do to help Branch

(His fur Is similar to dogs fur in that breeds that usually have short fur and looks like they do but it's a bit longer than you expect. My boxer is just like this. It's not noticeable unless you touch her fur)

All art is done by me btw
